11 Most Common Fears About Oral Sex & How To Get Over Them
byJill Di Donato
For some women, it can be hard to enjoy the pleasures of oral sex. For others, giving or receiving oral is a fate more terrifying than a root canal. Hey, neither of these fears is cause for embarrassment. But if you have trepidations about oral sex, you're not alone. There are some common fears about oral sex, but there are also ways to get over them so you can see for yourself if oral truly lives up to the hype.
Oral sex is super intimate. Some people think oral sex is more intimate than intercourse. The French, to be exact. According to Jezebel, French ladies find oral sex more intimate than penetration. Additionally, the article noted that oral usually comes later on in the relationship, after French women have bedded their partners.
Perhaps the French are onto something here. After all, mouth to genital contact is pretty damn intimate. You were probably brought up to believe your genitals are private, and during oral, they're anything but. If you're receiving, they're right in someone else's face. And if you're giving, then... well, you know.
But here's the thing. You're not a kid anymore. You're a grown-ass woman and, as such, you share private things about yourself, including your vagina, with others. Why? It's fun, feels good, and connects you to others in a way a mature woman desires. Although I don't believe in preaching when it comes to sex, I do believe in giving and receiving oral. So if you feel yourself embarrassed over the following (hey, I've been there) maybe it's time to rethink your attitude and face your fears.
